Want to cover my piping insulation

[muncybob]

Last year I wrapped the piping that runs from my boiler to the chimney with some high temp insulation. The insulation works great but it is unfaced and I want to wrap it with somethng to help contain any fibers, etc. What is available? I don't need anything with more R factor I just need a wrap.

I work in a commercial plumbing and any high temperature lines are insulated then jacketed with either aluminum or stainless steel (depending on the specifications) and then banded every 18 inches or so, makes for a really nice job. Where to buy locally I am not sure though, do you know of any commercial plumbing in your area? They may be able to point you in the right direction

I used radiant barrier on mine, very easy to work with,looks good & inexpensive.

Wait... What exactly did you insulate? Pipe from boiler to chimney.... do you mean the flue? I cant see where water lines would be going into a chimney......

While I do have the hot water lines insulated I am speaking abut the flue. Trying to keep chimney temps as high as possible to keep condensation to a minimum as my near boiler stack temps tend to run at only 300 to 350.
